The UN human rights office issued a database listing companies involved in Israeli West Bank settlements, stating the office considers these operations illegal. The database now includes 214 firms, many of which are based in Israel, but also in 10 other countries including China, France, Germany, and the United States. Newly added companies include the Israeli real estate investment holding company Alony Hetz, the company of Spain, Salvat Logistica, and ADAMA, a pesticides maker that is part of the Chinese-owned Syngenta Group.

Why it matters

The list is highly sensitive as companies face potential international boycotts or divestment pressure regarding their operations in the territory. The UN office noted that the targeted sectors include energy, food, hospitality, transport, and agriculture. Israeli officials have pushed back against the list, calling the process flawed and biased.

The UN has mandated international action and announced bans on imports from settlements in the West Bank.
